2003 Li Hao's helplessness

Li Hao (pinyin yán), Li Dynasty * Xian Xuanzu (1552-1608), temple name Xuanzu (original temple name Xuanzong, renamed Xuanzu after 1616), was the 14th monarch of the Li Dynasty * Xian, reigned from 1567 to 1608. Nickname: Zhenglun, Liji, Shengde, Honglie, Sincerity, Righteousness, Ge Tianxi, Yunjing, Destiny, Calendar, Honggong, Longye, Xianwenyi, Wusheng, Ruida, Xiaozhao, Jingwang, buried in Muling, Yangzhou.

In the twenty-second year of Emperor Mingzong (1567), Emperor Mingzong died, and the prime minister was taught to welcome the monarch of River City to ascend the throne, which was for Emperor Xuanzu. During his reign, the Dongren Party and the Westerner Party were formed in the court of scholars vying for fame and fortune, and they were the ancestors of the Shilin faction. The cronies continued to grab profits, which led to the corruption of the atmosphere of the court and the disorder of the government. At the same time, the rebellion of Imjin and the rebellion of Ding You made Seonjo even more exhausted, but the friends exerted pressure on him to depose the famous anti-Japanese general Yi Sunsin at this time. As a result, the situation of the Li dynasty was even worse at this time.

…… Dividing line ......

The yamen was protracted, the court was brutal, and the people's hearts in Uiju were biased towards the Jianju army, which led to the fact that when Pyongyang Prefecture received the news of the fall of Uiju, it was already early May, and the interior of Uiju was almost integrated. In fact, there was news during this period, but it was suppressed by the Jin family. The news was sent by Lord Mucui of Yizhou, saying that there was a shortage of food in the spring famine, and the people were in chaos, so please send troops to help.

Last year's "captive turmoil" was full of refugees, and the imperial court allocated money and food for relief. With the first day of the dynasty, he learned everything from the urine sex of the Ming Kingdom, and learned the "drifting" of the Ming Kingdom's officialdom. In the end, all that was sent to the refugees was gruel that was clear enough to look in the mirror. Of course, the envoy Park In-hee, who actively participated in it, knew that the people who had no food would definitely change, and all that remained was whether the news could be suppressed and quickly resolved. If it is not resolved, it will become evidence that political opponents are attacking their own faction. Park Zhijun's reaction was unusually fast, and he strictly ordered the pacification camp and the robbery department to immediately send troops to quell the chaos.

Last year's "captive rebellion" caused serious losses in personnel and weapons due to the garrison and arrest of Ping'an Province. The army of the DPRK and Xian also learned the "empty salary" of the Ming State to the fullest, and there were already only about half of the people, and under the serious losses, the number of garrisons in Pyongyang Province plus the number of the Capture and Robbery Department was only a little more than 1,000. In addition, it has been half a year since the arrears of salaries, and the officials of the pacification envoy and the robbery arrest department are also complaining bitterly, refusing to give money and food, and resolutely not moving.

There was no way, so you and the adults had no choice but to raise money from the rich families. The rich people scolded in their hearts: You are all fat, and now you are still asking us to pay?! One by one, they all said that there was no money, and they were all dragging their feet. With great difficulty, the adults finally raised more than 100 taels of silver, more than 300 copper coins, more than 1,000 catties of grain, and more than 10 pieces of cloth.

Under the "heavy money", more than 2,000 hooligans and beggars and homeless people were recruited, and the suppression camp and the robbery department were very reluctant to send troops. The "army" of more than 3,000 people is mighty, stretching for more than 5 miles, which is magnificent. There were few military uniforms, and the armor was only available to the pacification envoys. There was a shortage of weapons, so each of the newly recruited soldiers had to be given a stick. From a distance, it looks like a bunch of displaced people, and those who don't know it think that there is a famine in Pyongyang Province and that the displaced people are all over the place.

Such an army can walk non-stop all day, and it is already very good to be able to walk 50 miles, not to mention resting and camping. The team traveled more than 70 miles in two days, and the information was completely delivered to Yizhou. From the beginning of the third day, the rebel army in Pyongyang Province began to be constantly harassed and attacked.

The sides of the road became extremely dangerous, and a swarm of arrows flew out of the cold, not too dense, but almost impossible to shoot into the dense ranks. The soldiers found it dangerous for the hedgehogs to gather together and dispersed. Who knew that it would not work to disperse, and the speeding enemy cavalry suddenly appeared, threw out the ropes, tied one and ran, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The soldiers sent to search did not look back at all, not even those who were convenient to the roadside. If it weren't for the officers and their pro-soldiers trying their best to maintain the pressure, the ranks would have mutinied.

The hateful rebel army does not stop at night. After being set on fire twice, the officers and soldiers even slept with sticks and did not dare to relax. On the night of the fourth day, the rebel army found that it could not get close, and even used the "fire dragon". One by one, the "fire dragons" screamed and flew into the camp, burning everywhere.

The soldiers couldn't hold it down anymore, and the "camp roared"! In the dark, everyone ran around like headless flies. Orgoni and Loko led the officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Forward Battalion and the Ruijian Battalion to kill the fierce generals who dared to resist, and drove the scattered stick army into the encirclement of the volunteers.

The attack was launched at the fifth watch, when the sun rose and the battle was over, and the Volunteers gathered up their dejected sticks and scattered booty.

Just five watches, that is, around 3~4 o'clock, at this time, the body's blood pressure, pulse and breathing are in the weakest state, the blood supply to the brain is the least, the body is in the weakest circulating state, and the spirit is in the most relaxed state. It is the most suitable time for a military sneak attack.

At the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, the Central Plains believed in Buddhism and was not allowed to kill, and Chao Xian and Dongying followed him. A diet deficient in meat directly leads to vitamin A deficiency, resulting in widespread night blindness. People who can't see their surroundings clearly at night will naturally react violently to abnormal situations. Therefore, at that time, the Central Plains, Chao Xian and Dongying armies strictly forbade soldiers to leave the barracks at night to avoid riots. These soldiers rioted during the night, scattering in all directions, or attacking each other, with serious consequences, known as "camp roaring".

"Fire Dragon" is the simplest arson*fire*arrow. Li Rumei is stationed in Kuandian, and the Liaodong Peninsula is the back garden of Jianzhou. There are nitrate fields in Sanshankou to produce nitrate, and then get some oil in the Liaohe Plain, extract sulfur from the iron ore of Wugouying (now Yingkou), add some charcoal, and the craftsmen of Feiala can even make fire* arrows * cannons This kind of big killing weapon can be made!

Orgoni and Loko escorted the captive envoys and officials to Li Sicheng and Anfeiyangu and asked how to deal with them. Li Sicheng resolutely didn't care, An Feiyangu was a violent element and a curious baby, so he decided to cut off the noses and ears of the two officials and send them to the nearest county town to see what the reaction was.

The reaction was shocking, and Pyongyang was completely shocked! The two adults who had their noses and ears cut off reported to the envoy: the rebels and the Jurchen thieves colluded, and there were tens of thousands of them, and they were extremely fierce. The two adults led the officers and soldiers to fight hard, killing several times the enemy until they were captured. When the rebels failed to lure them in, they cut off their noses and ears and sent them back as an insult.

There are 4,000 people, and they will be gone in four days. So that the king knew that he couldn't hold it down, so he could only play the court. In order to prove that they were not incompetent, the number of rebels turned from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the enemy troops destroyed by the heroic stick army also turned into more than 10,000 brave bandits and Jurchen thieves. Yarhaqi, Li Sicheng and Anfeiyangu were all stunned and speechless when they saw the information.

When the recital went to Hanyang, Li Hao was equally dumbfounded, and the Manchu civil and military forces were also speechless.

In the political history of the dynasty, the real formation of punk politics began during the period of Seonjo Yi Hao. The core figure of the so-called punter politics is the Shilin faction of "worshipping Confucianism and rejecting Buddhism". And the Confucian elements here did not really use the Tao of Confucius, Mencius and Zhuzi to educate people's hearts, but used Confucianism as a guise to form a political force in the imperial court.

The Shilin faction was weakened during the reigns of Yanshanjun, Zhongzong, and Mingzong. During the reign of Seonjo, the Shilin faction returned to power but soon split into two factions, the Eastern People's Party and the Western People's Party. The East People's Party was divided into the Southerners and the Northerners. The Westerners are divided into the old school and the young school. With the change of power among these parties came bloody purges and constant reprisals.

At that time, Lu Shoushen, the right-wing politician, and Li Er, the deputy of the council, ran between the parties out of public intentions and persuaded them to give up the political dispute, which was the famous "Lu Li mediation". In 1584, Li Er died of illness, announcing the failure of the "Lu-Li mediation". The Westerners, who had lost Li Er's protection, soon lost ground, and the members of the Easterners attacked in a group and took bloody revenge.

It was precisely because it was at the beginning of the fierce party struggle at that time, and the bigwigs of the court were busy attacking and killing each other, that the court could not send any troops to suppress the so-called "popular uprising". Since there was no report that the state and county had fallen, the adults didn't bother to pay attention to it. Li Hao, who was helpless, had no choice but to go back to the harem and cry to his wives by himself.
